Troubles for my efforts.

.
.
Little was done yesterday.  I did soak, wash, then set to a final soak, one load of dishes.  A bit load, true, but that was it.  I kept trying to see my way to more.  I kept the window, for my conscious part, open.  I tried to get to other things only to get lost on the way or shortly into the efforts.  In the end, all my pushing did was see me awake far to far into the night.  It's like being in mud that rises to the knees and trying to run.  You just get tired.  If the call is strong enough to keep going?  You just get very tired.  I simply can't do much.  Today?  I'll... keep trying!

I am actually sore from trying.  While I don't get much done, just pushing my body in some states causes literal physical exhaustion.  I am sandbagged by medicine to top it off.  At least the sun has been out.  My call to my mother made me happy to be out here.  Sure, I still have my curtains pulled.  But, as I have mentioned, I can sense the sun.  And, being so bright, I can literally see it.  The heat also radiates through the cracks.  It is warmer with the curtains pulled closed, creating a heatbox, than if they were open, I suspect.  I get the wafts of warmth once in a while.  A treat, of sorts, when I am in the mood for it.  Never a bother though, in the dead of winter.

On the upside, I am improving my sudoku play.  I have, with a bit of study, and practice, while sitting and huffing, improved the levels of play I can complete by three to four steps.  I'm just a few steps from "this will hurt your ability to interact socially" level.  I can now do the lower upper tiers at about 30% faster than most players, without hints.  That is where I started with low to mid levels when I started playing again.  My goal, and to a degree I am getting there, is to figure out how to play them without too much analysis.  I just want to "see" the solution, I don't want to have to stop and think.  And, for the most part, I think I will get there.  The patterns ARE there.  The question is, are you willing to go that far into training to be able to just see them?  Me?  It's what I do.  Only, in this case, there are no doubts.  Either the puzzle works or it doesn't.  Simple.

Ugh.  Later.
Not commentary of any sort.  I haven't sorted it all out.  However...  I did get a chuckle, several, with the vid, thought to share it. 


And, no, I am NOT addicted to Sudoku.
